This guy lasted less than 14 hours before being revealed as an antisemetic POS. It’s mad that their vetting process is so poor, but it’s an issue the Greens and Reform are going to run into again and again.

I love pretty much everything Steve Conrad has ever written, and DTF St. Louis is no exception. It’s also one of the most profoundly sad TV shows I’ve ever seen. A great exploration of everything from male loneliness to sexual kinks. I recommend it, I think? Maybe just watch Patriot again? 📺

Equally there’s nothing worse than a blowout basketball game, and the women’s game has been significantly better than the men’s.

Looking like an exciting end to the women’s @sprleaguebballm.bsky.social final. Caledonia Gladiators have made a great comeback. Almost nothing better than a basketball game that’s close in the final two minutes. Live on BBC right now. 🏀⛹️‍♀️

The funniest thing is that the post reads like AI. Twitter and the right wing is just the regurgitation of shitty opinions.

people are all mentioning the same contemp stuff here and they are right (Simpson, Musgraves, Childers, Isbell, etc) but I’ll shout out someone who’s both very talented, undersung, and also here on Bluesky: @adeemtheartist.bsky.social my personal favorite of theirs is “Going to Hell”, it’s a banger

Great thread, and it really feels like there might be a lesson in there, somewhere…

It’s not just the fans. Every FA of nations that had to go through qualifiers are being screwed. What’s happening to all the money that the not-for-profit FIFA is making? It’s meant to reinvest in the game but it has billions in cash reserves. It is in serious need of regulation and oversight.

Liverpool FC. A different take. Grief and Depression. I've seen many saying this seasons poor performances can't be because of the tragedy involving Jota. Why can't they be? Speaking as a 24 Yr old who last his dad suddenly-that first year was a daze. Going through the motions. Turning into work,

-18 is nothing. Starmer is at -45. Lots of people from the USA actually like the stuff Trump is doing.

Football, bloody hell

I am looking for renters and landlords to chat to me about the new rights starting next week! Do you have a question or a comment. Or maybe a story about eviction, rights, relationships with a landlord or a tenant? Get in touch [email protected] (Shares gratefully received!)

The only time I’ve had to pray or say grace before a meal has been in the States, and it’s happened to me more times than I really feel comfortable with.

Oh boy, do I want Rose to do this! ⛳️ #TheMasters

This is very funny but not true. That 51% v 47% split was from 30 Jan. it’s held relatively steady in the last week or so.

Rewatching Lethal Weapon 4 and had forgotten the immigration storyline. At one point Murtaugh asks, “what happened to ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free’?” The brilliant Richard Richle replies, “Now it says, ‘we’re closed’.” Not much has changed in 28 years

Once MAGA stalwart Marjorie Taylor Greene says it’s time for the Republican Party to ‘burn to the ground’

Look it’s me in my favorite show. And again I must stress: I am NOT doing this show because of Jason. I was a fan before him. Thrilled to be on my favorite show with people I genuinely love. Alex is there as well. youtu.be/oRfHA2d3DhM?...

@druckmann.bsky.social let @keefstuart.bsky.social write a Last of Us novel, please!

The internet should exclusively be used for people writing stuff like this. Brilliant.

Just so you know what kind of dork I am: I was looking at the Artemis II mission stuff and said to @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social, “The cutaway in those letters in the bottom left corner definitely means something super specific…”

Of all the bands that tried to break through in the post-Britpop wilderness of mid-2000s guitar bands, GoodBooks are the ones I am most disappointed did not make it. Hard to believe I watched them play Passchendaele live 20 years ago… youtu.be/n-5cApzDUXQ?...

Really timely re-release of @davidmcraney.bsky.social’s brilliant You Are Not So Smart podcast with @chenoweth.bsky.social. #NoKings feels so close to 3.5%. Also makes the key point that the likes of the odious MTG opposing the US government really helps. Stoking division works both ways.

Thank you, Mo. I began working for Opta in August 2017 - the same month Salah made his Liverpool debut. Goals, assists, wins, records - it's been an honour to document it all. Available in this free 2,700+ words and over 30 tables on the Egyptian King. mreidstats.substack.com/p/mo-salah-t...

Didn’t want to go to a World Cup in a fascist country, anyway. The boys put in a hell of a performance and just needed a bit more protection from the ref. I feel for Neco Williams. They’ll be stronger in four years. #Cymru

I find it very hard to hear the trumpeter playing Men of Harlech without singing about Elis James #Cymru #CymruConnection #WALBIH

Loved Ben Lerner’s Leaving the Atocha Station. A funny and moving account of an American living in Madrid around the time of the bombing. Perfect portrayal of residing in a foreign culture and trying to find your place. Just excellent writing. #booksky 📚

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work. Let's talk about it. 🧵

Just finished reading Flesh by David Szalay. Had a visceral reaction to it. Not sure I liked it, or anyone in the novel, but it did make me want to write. It made me want to make active choices in my life. #Booksky 📚📖

This. Some of you need to fix your hearts. #YNWA

I get people getting angry, but no need to lash out at fellow fans

“I find it a bit strange and a bit difficult when I hear people speaking about the players at Liverpool and the performances, because I don’t think this season is even important from a football aspect for them, to be honest. It’s more about them personally and mentally.” - Caoimhin Kelleher #LFC

Liverpool’s season in a nutshell. #LFC

This is quite sensational by Jeremy Vine, suggesting people in Iran are dancing like Trump while waving the Israeli flag…

How have Josh Gad and Jason Mantzoukas never performed as a comedy double act called Gadzooks?

Caught up with a British Indian mate of mine over text tonight. I was trying to offer him a job and he said he wants to be super rich like Elon Musk. I called Musk an idiot and white supremacist, and our conversation ended like this. I need to stop being friends with him, right?

Chatting to a mate who lives in Chicago. He talks about Mexican restaurants like they are a speakeasy. They appear shut from the outside but if you knock they will let you in… It’s mind boggling that the USA is like this now.

It's maddening to have written about machine learning for years, called it AI - as many tech journos / researchers have - only to see people suggest that "AI" only relates to LLMs? And that if you call anything else AI you are lying?! The term artificial intelligence was coined no later than 1956!

Atalanta v Dortmund was a lot of fun, and a real promising start in Real Madrid v Benfica. The one benefit of this new format is the extra knockout round. Imagine if the whole competition was just a two leg knockout tournament…

Really interesting that he’s doing press after his impact at the weekend…

I think my favourite moment of that flurry of play was the little huddle after the A**enal goal. “We do not let this slip!” 30 seconds later…

Watching Pep celebrate like that convinces me City are going to win the league this year, and then he’s done. The City transfers in January just have that smell of Fergie buying van Persie so he can win the league in his final season

Pushing someone offside is very, very funny. #MCINEW

ABA. Come on, City. #MCINEW
